Mo Qianshang was just doing her calculations out of habit, but after she finished speaking, she found the person opposite her staring at her in a daze.
She gave him a slightly puzzled look, and Mr. Chen smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it's nothing, Madam Mo's calculations are quite good."
Mo Qianshang didn't know how to respond, so she simply didn't: "It's alright, so are you planning to sell the land?"
Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment, then chuckled, "Well, of course I'll sell it, but the price... to be honest, it's really a bit low..."
Mo Qianshang only said one sentence: "There's no rush. Think about it some more. We'll talk about it after everyone else has arrived."
Master Chen didn't know what she meant, but he didn't want to lower himself. Although he didn't know who Mo Qianshang was, he was still just a woman.
Fifteen minutes later, all five people arrived one after another. Village Chief Zhao sat awkwardly next to Mo Qianshang, while Mo Qianshang watched the waiter pour tea for everyone with an air of nonchalance.
After the waiter left, she smiled slightly and said, "It's like this, Mr. Chen arrived a step earlier than everyone else. I've already asked him, and he currently owns 120 mu of land in Dongshan Village, but he feels that the price I offered is a bit low. Mr. Chen, I wonder if you've made up your mind in this quarter of an hour? Do you still think it's too low?"
When Master Chen sells land, he naturally hopes to get as much as possible. When Mo Qianshang asked him this, he readily nodded and said, "Well... that's true..."
"Oh." Mo Qianshang interrupted him expressionlessly. "Then forget it. Let's consider selling Master Chen's land to someone else. I told Village Chief Zhao before that I want to buy the land at a fixed price. I won't spend a penny more. So, do the others also think the price is too low and don't want to sell?"
The others were also surprised by Mo Qianshang's decisiveness. Master Chen was stunned, and the others fell silent. Clearly, they all wanted to raise the price together.
This time, Mo Qianshang stood up on her own.
"It seems that you gentlemen are not planning to sell the land, so I will take my leave. After all, I don't necessarily have to buy it. I have already ordered the dishes, so let Village Chief Zhao have a meal with you all."
As soon as she was about to leave, some of the group couldn't hold back any longer and quickly tried to stop her: "Hey, Madam Mo, don't be in such a hurry. Business deals always need to be discussed..."
Mo Qianshang looked puzzled: "I had already told Village Chief Zhao about the price I could offer. I thought you would accept it, which is why I'm here today. If you don't agree, why bother arguing here?"
She opened the bundle she was carrying, and immediately there was a pile of gleaming gold on the table: "Now I'm only asking whether to sell or not. If you say yes, I'll go back to Dongshan Village today to measure the land, sign the contract, and I don't want to repeat myself."
Now the group finally understood. This guy wasn't a businessman at all, nor was he here to talk about social niceties. He just had money and wanted to buy land, as if it was a matter of whether they wanted to sell or not.
At that moment, someone stood up: "I'll sell!"
Another person raised their hand: "I'll sell too."
Mo Qianshang finally smiled slightly: "That's good. It seems there are still people who want to sell. But there's no rush. Let's finish our meal first and then go. I'll hire a car. We should be able to get there in time."
The remaining three people remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere. Mo Qianshang asked the restaurant to bring out the dishes. With the two families who wanted to sell the land present, the atmosphere eased slightly.
During the meal, they subtly inquired about Mo Qianshang's background and why she was selling land at this time. Mo Qianshang naturally gave the same explanation as before: she had fled famine and was selling land to survive, regardless of whether others believed her or not.
Just as Mo Qianshang was about to get up after finishing her meal, another family also got up and followed them to Dongshan Village.
As for the remaining two companies, whether it was truly due to the price or because they couldn't refuse, Mo Qianshang didn't ask any further questions.
Upon arriving at Dongshan Village, their group attracted the attention of the villagers. Mo Qianshang did not try to hide it, and the village chief personally led them to measure the land, holding a map of the village in his hand, telling Mo Qianshang along the way where all the land was located.
Mo Qianshang felt a little regretful. Little Yao was already taking care of enough children; she should have found someone else to do these things for her...
Thinking of this, she asked the village chief to wait and went to Aunt Shen's house.
"What? You bought land in the village?"
Aunt Shen was cooking when she heard this and her eyes widened: "Why did you buy from our village?"
"Auntie, please don't ask so many questions. I just have something I wanted to ask if your family accepts such cases."
"Tell me, tell me!"
Mo Qianshang said, "Auntie, how about this? Could you check the fields for me every day while I'm doing farm work to make sure everyone is planting properly and doing their jobs? After all, I don't live here and can't come every day."
Aunt Shen nodded: "No problem. Anyway, we're busy in the fields during the busy farming season. I'll just keep an eye on it for you every day. Just tell me where the land you bought is!"
Mo Qianshang thought for a moment: "I bought about two hundred acres of land..."
Aunt Shen was shocked: "Two hundred mu?!"
She originally intended to just help out, but with 200 acres involved, it's not something she can do every day.
Mo Qianshang nodded: "Yes, so I actually want to hire someone to manage things. So, would you like to do it? You would check the work done on these lands every day to see if there are any problems. I will give you six hundred coins a month."
Aunt Shen was even more shocked: "Just look, six hundred coins a month?!"
Mo Qianshang nodded even more firmly: "Yes, but don't underestimate this matter. If you are going to do this, you have to be clear about what's what. You can't turn a blind eye to things just because you're from the same village."
Aunt Shen then realized this.
"When I hire people to farm, if I find that they are slacking off or doing something wrong and not working properly, you have to tell me everything. This could be a difficult thing to do, so you have to think carefully about whether you can do it."
Aunt Shen frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shook her hand: "What kind of talk is this? You hire people to farm, so they should farm properly. If they don't farm properly, I will naturally criticize them. If this is how you offend people, then so be it!"
She patted her chest and said, "If you trust me, I'll do it!"
Mo Qianshang trusts Aunt Shen the most in Dongshan Village now, so she immediately nodded: "Okay, Aunt, if you're not busy right now, come with me to see the village chief measuring the land, and let's identify which lands are there."
Aunt Shen wiped her hands: "Alright!"
